Shuttlecock! Part 2 - No Net on the Horizon

[U2DMfan]

So even Ireland has an obnoxious American voice over guy doing promos?

Anyways, the reaction thread over there (for when it leaks) has 500 fucking replies already.

I guess it's a good thing this is sort of like the Olympics.
It only happens every 4 years, pretty exciting.

I remember when the first full clip Beautiful Day was posted on the front page of Interference. I was at work, we were only supposed to go to the computer room on our 15 minute break. I went in and checked at lunchtime, VOILA! There it was.

I listened to that fucking song about 20 times altogether before I went home.

Boots just leaked on itunes

 

[joyfulgirl]

Listening to it now, waking the damn neighbors!

 

[bono_212]

I've promised SOMEONE who shall remain nameless, that I will still wait til the Dave Fanning Premiere before I listen to it

It's just sitting there.

On my computer

I'm not nostalgic that way, or whatever you call it. I bought it, I'm cranking it, and I'm not sharing with nobody. But I'll hold off on further comments until I've listened to it a lot. I just kept hitting "buy" until it was finally there.

 

[VintagePunk]

Wha...?? So the mp3 is out there?

I bought it, fuck that and fuck everyone else.

1 listen in.

More listens to follow, with headphones.

I is a happy.

iTunes, baby!

 

[VintagePunk]

I don't have iTunes. I know, I'm like the last person on the entire earth...

 

[joyfulgirl]

Well, get on it!

Is your email address in that thread where it said to post your email address? I think someone was ripping & uploading. If not shortly, lemme know & I will try & rip & upload.

We're on listen number 6 or so

GOYB segues into Popmuzik from Hasta La Vista, Baby! in my iTunes and can I just say that is sweeeeeeeet.

Now I'm never going to get to sleep.

I totally forgot to add it till now. I just did. Hopefully someone will send it, if not, I'll hear it on RTE/the U2.com stream.

I'm catching up over there. So that Cedars of Lebanon was for real?

 

[Lila64]

no idea, was it?

 

[impy13]

Okay, I can't find it on iTunes. What the fuck?

 

[VintagePunk]

I was just skimming, and I thought someone said that RTE played it, and they got it from the YouTube clip that was floating around earlier, the one where they're just jamming with no vocals, I assume.


Some Canadians over there are saying they can't find it in our iTunes store.

 

[impy13]

Apparently iTunes took it down or something? I can't spend much time in EYKIW without getting overwhelmed with bullshit.

I've been drinking, I'm belligerent, my friends just left, and I want to hear this fucking Shuttlecock song.

 

[impy13]

My problem may or may not be that I'm searching "shuttlecock boots" in iTunes.

 

[VintagePunk]

Heh. It's not bad in that thread now, a lot of regulars/old timers in there. But yeah, sounds like iTunes must have taken it down.

 

[Lila64]

VP - check your email. I fwd'd to you just in case you didn't get on the list

Thanks!!

The execulink e-mail? Nothing yet, but I'll keep checking!

 

[lazarus]

Are we all going to be forced to buy it?

I suggest a se ndspace link that can be PMed from person to person.

But, of course, any PM is welcome...

 

[u2popmofo]

Just downloaded it from iTunes, listening now for the first time. So far so good!

 

[VintagePunk]

It's getting around to some people. They had this massive system set up in wtahan for forwarding links to people. If you remembered to add your name.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

This is the hotness.

When The Levee Breaks drums at 2:30.

Foxy boots, ice cream, ghosts, Satan, you don't know how beautiful you are.

 

[u2popmofo]

If you can't find it on iTunes, go to the main page. It's an add up at the top (pre-order the new album / get the new singe now). Click on that and buy Boots.

3rd time through...

 

[impy13]

Nothing like this on ATYCLC or HTMAAS. I don't know how I like the song yet, I've only listened twice. Lila sent it to me but I just bought it on iTunes too. I've only listened twice.


It's different from the cycle. That's the most important part.

 

[lazarus]

Me wants the precious.

This is Shuttlecock, folks. We need to look after one another.

:begs:

 

[impy13]

I just served a furious Shuttlecock in your direction, laz.

And scumby, while initially I had it sent to me via mega upload, I bought it off iTunes when I finally found it. So don't whine.
